Llandudno lifeboat launches to reports of people at the base of the Little Orme

Llandudno's RNLI Inshore Lifeboat Dr Barbara Saunderson launched shortly afterwards and made its way to the position given. Once on scene, the lifeboat located two men in wetsuits just ashore to the East of the bay, after a brief conversation, it became clear that both had been coasteering in the area. At this point, Llandudno Coastguard were also on scene and liaised with the first informant who confirmed that the two males were the two in question. The inshore lifeboat then returned to the station as this was a false alarm with good intent.
